"We Can't Live Sepparated"

The growing fame they have gained since the Meerkat Manor series started, shouldn't turn suddenly into bad news for them just because someone wants one or two Meerkats at home. Don't steal them from zoos; they were not created to be our pets.

Besides, every Meerkat has a function in the group and for that, is important and almost unreplaceable.

But considering what has been happening, the time came for us to stop the stealing.

"Remembered Ones"

Shakespeare, son of Flower and Zaphod, was born on November 8, 2002, along with Mozart, Einstein and Freud; all of the Whiskers family.

I made very few entries dedicated to Shakespeare and, however, he was one of the most faithful Meerkats in when the Mob needed him.
In his first year (March 18, 2003), he lost one of his brothers, Freud.
But Shakespeare lived enough to take care of many young Meerkats; the long list included Monkulus, Armantia Ditch, Zarathustra, Mitch, Cruise and Jogu.
One day an enemy group attacked the Whiskers and took the little Mitch to leave him in the open, but soon it was Shakespeare who found and took him back to the security of their burrow.
On November 23, 2004, he was one of the brave Meerkats who cornered a Puff Adder Snake... Being bitten in face and leg. But some days later he was recovered from the venom and ready to continue his babysitting of newborns.
When Flower gave birth to Petra, Macchu Pichu, Ningaloo and Popkat, he was there to take care of the babies every time their mother was out to forage.
Staying always with Flower and Zaphod, Shakespeare kept doing his main job, and when some Meerkats of her group rejoined the Whiskers -Flower giving birth to Flo, Kim and Finn-, he babysat them as well.
But one day the Lazuli attacked their burrow; Shakespeare first protected the young Meerkats. After the Whiskers chased the enemies away, he disappeared and left his life on March 11, 2005.

Here are three pictures brought to remember him better, especially with the third.

"Garden For Just One Flower"

Only for all Meerkat Manor lovers... For here, we all accept Flower as our Queen and Mother in common (if anyone doesn't agree, just go to another blog / site). Well, this is what I wanted to leave here this time, having let the words flow instead of thinking them, so that you could read a new...
...Possible message from Flower.

"Dear children: It's been four years since you and me could see one another (through the heart, in my case). But no matter how much time may pass, if with this we can strenghten our little bond along with the feeling of belonging each other. There's something about my death that maybe you haven't thought yet. I wasn't happy or proud in those hard and painful moments just for having fought for my people. I felt happy dying at the very entrance of my burrow. And anyway, dear children, you already know this very well: The flower doesn't live who can't leave her own future afterlife. So, whenever you see a dying flower, just smile as if I was there, because I can be right there, ready to bring myself back, somewhere, somehow".

"Very Special - Khristmas"

Meerkats... They're the new

and brightest stars during Christmas!!!

They almost seem to have been born

to celebrate this date, or remind us to do it.

First, they save their best songs for that day...

Then they wait for the Three Meerkat Kings...

And, of course, they're ready to say thanks,
like a very little prayer in their hearts!

"Mozart Relief And Happiness"

Oh, I almost forget this day... That little Princess was born in the first week of November along with other three Meerkats. Now this little song is for her; the music should be one of another song whose bottom line says "A circle complete... The graves of love" (I don't know the name).


Mozart, if you could be born again, what you would do?
Will all that sorrows be left behind, like traveled roads?
And if you can find that Knight always dreamed,
will all your children grow up without hate?

You had lived to suffer...
Those days are forever gone.

A great and ill fate always waited for you,
while arrows of sadness would follow your steps.
But nothing of that ever will reach your heart...
You'll come with a shield made of silver hope stars.

And when you're there, looking all the world around,
your children will make a tale of joy.

Mozart, if someday you live again under that Sun,
I hope he'll watch over you this time, between the sands.
And if a danger that comes from the sky
is going to take all you've gained by own right,
may even the Sun light
protect all your most loved ones.

And when you're there, in the place of Queen at last
that crown will make all your dreams come true.

"Mozart Relief And Happiness"

Mozart, sweet girl,
in your little Heaven
you're just great,
Princess Girl.
Mozart, Love-Star...
Not a single tear
will ever change
your smiling face.

We miss you,
we love you,
and cry for you...
But that's how things are here.
The only thing you must do,
is to shine with joy
like newborn stars
as much as you want.

Princess of Sands,
your tears have become
the longed rain,
bringer of hope.
Shed no more tears...
Even your lost children
will be there,
always for you.

You've been
after all
the best mother,
because a bleeding heart
is just as good as one
which can keep around
the ones that loves
and wants to care for.
(Your heart knows...).

Remember
to look
always forward,
and see what you may find...
For what we think it's lost
will return some day
a hundred times
and covered with gold.

Mozart, sweet girl,
if you're still in Heaven,
now I think,
that you're called there
"Princess Mother Star"
by many a soul,
Desert Girl.


My latest poem for Mozart, the Meerkat; the melody is the same of "Michelle, ma belle..."

"Garden For Just One Flower"

When your eyes
watching long and proudly
were set on us
through your magical crystal...
They seemed to shine
sometimes
with light of fire,
sometimes with Moon bright,
and always love of mother.

Your smiling face
didn't keep your pride hidden;
your burning heart
didn't turn your heart evil...
With little hands
you had to built a Kingdom
and you succeded,
standing tall
against the very desert.

Your children were
the happiness of your heart;
you felt them inside
as your eyes saw them 'round you...
They waited always
for your silent voice calling,
to move from burrow
or go to forage
before the Sun was higher.

But suddenly
you command made in silence
shocked everyone
through the magical crystal...
So we kept crying since,
like we had lost a dear one;
to ourselves saying
'For Heaven's Sake,
may I never forget her'.

Beautiful Lady
and Queen to many humans...
Now you're not there
but in millions of crying hearts.
And time means nothing
now you own past and future;
we're only wishing
that you may join us someday...
Souls shining for each other.

"Mozart Relief And Happiness"

It's very hard to believe that someone so tender and caring have had to live with so much suffering, but that happened to Mozart ... The most unhappy girl in the Kalahari.

She took care of many other's babies ; went into the babysitting bureau to feed the kids while the rest had gone to a battle against the Lazuli, and when Flower came back Mozart started grooming her ; then always tried to stay by her family ; cared for Shakespeake when he was bitten by a puff adder ; stood by Carlos' side when he was dying, and then very close to Kinkajou when she was dying, even tough she had killed her pups.

It talks indeed of a heart where there was only place for the biggest love... A Saint's love.

"We're All Meerkats Here"

As I said in "Themes...", in this section we all accept Flower to be our Queen / Mother in common, and whatever she could say will be orders for everyone of us.

We know for sure, of course, that Flower -being our mother- would never want us harmed, or hurted in any way.

So this is the first thing she wants from us :

"Next time you go to the Zoo, dear children, go please to the Reptiles House and stay a while watching the Snakes with a smile in your face ... For, now I know well, that Cape Cobra was my enemy only in the Earth I left behind.

Here, instead, she will be my best friend when her own time comes.

From this you will guess soon that I already forgot what she did that day.

So, my dear children, try to love all the Snakes as much as you love me, because -once more- only in Earth that feeling brings great sorrow"

"Tosca & Daisy Relief And Happiness"

Poor girls ... But they only suffered here.

Maybe in Heaven they'll be appointed

to a big Meerkat Nursery !

"Mozart Relief And Happiness"

The unfortunate Mozart ... Never able to be a mother. But surely now she found some of what she most wanted and needed, even everything she couldn't have in this earth.
That girl, indeed, must have found the happiness which she didn't enjoyed there, she really has got to have reached it.

THE BEST OF THE BEST FOR YOU, LITTLE GIRL ...

YOU'RE THERE TO FORGET ALL SADNESS
